Well – 25 minutes. I don’t ramble that much.
TP-Link HS110 Energy Monitoring API – addendum – Python3 script
Updating the Python2 script from softScheck to Python3, combining readings from 4 devices, and output to an I2C Oled display Relating to my earlier post: https://blog.xarta.co.uk/2019/12/tp-link-hs110-energy-monitoring-api/ This code is a proof of concept for updating the OLED I2C display on my mains power-management box controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3B, pending my C# dotnet core […]
TP-Link HS110 Energy Monitoring API part 1
Hardware V1 and V2, and basic C# proof of concept for obtaining the Current, Voltage, and Power readings. Useful links: These sockets have actually proven to be fairly reliable, probably some of the most reliable WiFi sockets, but still, I’m reluctant to use them to power cycle things like computers because if they spuriously switch […]

Gutenberg broke my site

I’m not GDPR compliant. :(
I’m trying! I’ve been busy with my new job; haven’t had much time with “web stuff” over the last year (beyond ASP.Net / Web.API – but for internal network use). I’ve only just started to look at how GDPR affects me. I have no interest in tracking individuals but I do use plugins, and I […]
Bit Rate Throttling says No to mp3
I’m alive! Been very busy in my new job since very end-July 2017 as a Junior Software Developer. Been concentrating on C#, ASP.Net, Web API, WinForms, some WPF, Wix Toolset even, and lots of SQL Server and some other bits & pieces like Java mobile printing SDK’s and the like. I can’t even remember how […]
Delegates – simple example parameterised code
This is just for me so I can easily find example notes. One of my prime resources for learning C#: Jamie King on YouTube
